H. C. Dale, president of the University of Idaho,
received his A.B. and A.M. degrees from Harvard University. He served at the University of
Idaho from 1920 to 1928, and from 1928 to 1937
at Miami University, Oxford, Ohio, being dean
of the school of business at both universities.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
The first "Gem of the Mountains" that I ever saw was the issue of 1921, the
spring after I joined the faculty of the University of Idaho. At that time there
were less than a thousand students. This year we passed the three thousand mark.
A span of nearly twenty years and a trebling in size often spells profound
changes in the spirit and character of an institution. Perhaps the most significant
trait of the University of Idaho has been the abiding nature through the years
of what we call the "Idaho Spirit."
It is the spirit of kindliness and yet of candor, of faithfulness and yet of
fun, of sentiment and yet of seriousness.
Because this spirit has prevailed among her sons and daughters, the
University of Idaho will continue year after year winning her way to fame.

Barzilla W. Clark, governor of Idaho, is
a great friend of the University. As
mayor of Idaho Falls he initiated a system of municipal works for which he is
famous. As governor of the state, he has
the interests of the people and university students at heart.

The State Board of Education and the Board of
Regents of the University of Idaho make the decisions
which administer the University. They consider plans
and projects which concern the University.
Members of the board are: President Mrs. A. A.
Steele, Parma; Vice-President J. F. Jenny, Cottonwood; Secretary Clency St. Clair. Idaho Falls; Jerome
J. Day, Wallace; Arthur L. Swim, Twin Falls; and exofficio memcer John W. Condie, Boise, state super-

REGENTS
intendent of public instruction. Regent Swim, the
newest member of the board, succeeded Asher B.
Wilson of Twin Falls, whose term expired last ye3r.
Jerome J. Day's term expires in April, 1938.
The work of the Board of Regents during recent years
has been the approval of the private financing for
construction of a football stadium, golf course, club
house, men's dormitory, student union building, and
the library wing of the Administration building.

ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICIALS
The addition of the new $110,000 library wing has
made the work of Librarian M. Belle Sweet much
more pleasant. Miss Sweet now has ample room for
the more than 100,000 volumes included in the
library, resulting in improved efficiency and service.
To Ella L. Olesen, a University of Idaho graduate,
goes the difficult job of registrar . . . a task which
Miss Olesen dispatches with great efficiency.
Frank Stanton is bursar of the University, and is
kept busy keeping track of the finances of the school.

He is also chairman of the committee which supervises the administration of various loan funds used
in helping worthy students in need of financial aid.
To Oren A. Fitzgerald is a llotted the position of
university editor. It is Mr. Fitzgerald's duty to supervise the various university publications.
Other administrative officials are R. W. Lind, a
University of Colorado man, who superintends buildings and grounds, and "Bob" Green a University of
Idaho graduate, who is proctor of men.

John Hugo Johnson was appointed acting dean of the College of Engineering following
the resignation of Dean Ivan C.
Crawford during the first semester. Acting Dean Johnson has
his B.A. and E.E. degrees from
the University of Wisconsin.
More than any other division
of the University, the College of
Engineering needs new facilities, including an adequate
classroom building, more laboratory equipment, and a larger
corps of instructors.

E. J. Iddings, dean of the College of Agriculture, including
the Extension Service and the
agricultural experiment stations,
makes an outstanding contribution to the welfare of the state
through the training of future
farmers, and scientific research
in Idaho's principal industry.
Dean Iddings, who received
his master of arts degree from
Colorado Agricultural College,
feels keenly the need for more
adequate research and classroom facilities for the College.

Dean Dwight S. Jeffers, by developing the School of Forestry
into a compact unit, has materially aided the interest in and
growth of this school.
Representing, as it does, one
of Idaho's most important industries, the School of Forestry endeavors to give its students all
the practical knowledge possible through field trips, forestry
camps, and specialized work in
the forestry problems of Idaho.
Dean Jeffers received his M.F.
and Ph.D. degrees from Yale.

FACU L T Y

EDUCATION

Directed self-study and close
personal contacts between students and instructors have been
the keynotes of Dean Arthur W.
Fahrenwald's administration of
the School of Mines.
The mining industry, occupying a prominent place in Idaho's
basic industries, is benefited by
the practical, scientific course
of study given in the School of
Mines.
Dean Fahrenwald received
his Met.E. degree from the Uni路
versity of South Dakota and his
E.M. degree from the New Mexico School of Mines.

Jay Glover Eldridge, dean of
the university faculty, has been
in the continuous service of the
University of Idaho since 1903.
At that time he was the only
dean in the University, supervising all departments. Dean
Eldridge has seen the growth of
the University from one building
to its present size.
As head of the department of
modern languages, he prefers
teaching to all other duties. Ph.
D., M.A., and B.A. degrees from
Yale, and study in France and
Germany present an enviable
background for his work.

The School of Education, under
Dean James Franklin Messenger, is one of the largest divisions in the University. Four
bachelor's degrees were given
in the first graduation from this
school in 1921. Since that time
it has grown until, in 1937, there
were 123 bachelor's degrees
and 35 master's degrees conferred. The present enrollment
is around 500.
The School of Education is
also in charge of summer school.
This has become a very large
factor in the Idaho educational
program.

Pendleton Howard, dean of the
College of Law, received his
Ph.D. in Public Law and Jurisprudence from Columbia University. Throughout his stay at
the University of ldar.o, Dean
Howard has been most impressed by the democratic spirit
prevailing here.
An up-to-date curriculum, in
keeping with state and national
law, has helped maintain the
high standard for which the
University of Idaho law school
is well known.
The enrollment in the College
of Law has steadily increased.

GRADUATE

BUS

Charles W. Hungerford, dean
of the rapidly-growing Graduate School, has been at the
University of Idaho since 1909.
He received his M.S. and Ph.D.
degrees from the Univen:ity of
Wisconsin.
It is the fond hope of Dean
Hungerford to have sufficient
facilities and teaching personnel in the future to warrant the
granting of doctorate degrees
by the University of Idaho.
Dean Hungerford makes a
a hobby of plants, and has collected nearly 200 varieties of
bearded irises.

Confronted with a steadily increasing enrollment, Dean
Ralph H. Farmer still maintains
the close personal contact with
his students which makes the
School of Business Administration more popular than ever.
There were 144 enrolled in
the senior school and 310 in
pre-business this year-a total
of more than 450, and an increase of over 50 more than
last year.
Dean Farmer hopes to establish a departmental reading
room in the near future for the
convenience of his students.

EXTENSION

LETTERS A ND SCIENCE

The Non-Residence department,
with Miss Bernice McCoy as its
head, meets the needs of students who are out in the field.
A student is permitted to take as
much as one-fourth of his academic work by correspondence.
This opportunity is utilized by
students who are temporarily
out of school.
Miss McCoy also has charge
of the Placement Service.
Through her ability to match
the person to the job, it has
l::een possible for a larger percentage of Idaho graduates to
secure positions.

Dean T. S. Kerr, in addition to
his regular duties as dean of the
Junior College, has l::een acting
dean of the College of Letters
and Science since the death
of Dean J. A. Kostalek on September 25. Dean Kerr, who
joined the University of Idaho
faculty in 1924, received his
LL.B. from the University of
Michigan. He has been dean of
the Junior College since 1929.
A new course, designed for
the preparation of students for
social work in Idaho, will be
added to the curriculum next
fall.

Dr. Evelyn Miller, dean of women, received her B.A. and M.A.
degrees at Stanford University
and her Ph.D. at Columbia. She
is a member of Phi Beta Kappa
and Cardinal Key.
Having been in many parts
of the world, Dr. Miller has
developed an intensive liking
for travel, and hopes to continue her avocation.
Since coming to the campus
in September, 1936, Dr. Miller
has instituted plans for making
every student socially minded
through dancing classes and a

A.S.U.I. PRESIDENT
John V. Banks, elected student
body president last year, is a major
in chemical engineering from the
Coulee Dam, Washington. John,
whose father is head of the Coulee
Dam construction project, is following in his father's footsteps. He
is a meml::er of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, social fraternity; Sigma Tau,
engineering honorary; and Scabbard and Blade, national military
honorary. President Banks has
been one of the most popular student body presidents, and has discharged the duties of his office
with great efficiency.

A.S.U.I. VICE -PRES I DE NT
Running on an independent, non-partisan
ticket, Carl Burt was elected to the Executive
Board last spring. The board chose Carl from
its membership as A.S.U.I. Vice-President.
Owing no political allegiance, he believes in
the greatest good for the greatest number.
Carl is a junior in the school of education,
and lives in the Capitol City.

The Executive Board, student governing body, is
elected by proportional representation in the spring
election. It is composed of ten members, including
the student body president.
Beside A.S. U .I. President John Banks, the board
this year includes Carl Burt, vice-president; Ardis
Simpson, secretary; Paul Ennis, Bill Kramer, Max
Kenworthy, Mary Sullivan, Kenneth Fitzgerald, Robert Breckenridge, Blaine Liljenquist.

GRADUATE MANA .GER •

George E. "Cap" Horton is the man who
keeps the associated students' affairs running
smoothly. It is hard to realize the multitude
of duties which "Cap" Horton has been performing efficiently since 1923. He is the
business head of the A.S.U.I. , subject to the
general control of the Executive Board. It is
"Cap" who signs the vouchers, collects the
money, makes out the budget, pays the bills,
and keeps charge of class accounts. It is he
who sees that tickets are printed and on sale
for all athletic events, and keeps the student
body on a sound financial basis.
Mr. Horton has been with us a long time;
he played football on Idaho's championship
football team of 1900. With the completion
of the new student union building, "Cap"
moved to spacious new offices therein.

Returning to the campus as an upperclassman, last
year's sophomore begins to reap the rewards of his
political affiliations, apple-polishing, activities, and alliances to which he has devoted his spare time as an
underclassman. The seniors, lords over all, pick the
pledges to the many honoraries and clubs from the
ranks of the junior class, and train them to carry on the
respective traditions and customs of the organizations.
The class of '39 assumed its campus duties last fall
with a debonair manner quite contrasting to that of the
insignificant freshman or ostentatious sophomore. First
semester officers were: Jerry Ridgeway, president; Sally
Mitchell, vice president; Carol Jean Davis, secretary;
and Earl Gregory, treasurer.

The most gala of gala Junior Weeks was the contribution of this year's junior class. The theme, based on
Walt Disney's artistry of Silly Symphonies, brought to
life Mickey Mouse, Pluto, Donald Duck, Minnie, and all
their animated friends. The program for the week
included a parade composed of floats from each house
and hall, an assembly followed by an all-school mixer
and serenade, the formal Junior Prom, and the informal
cabaret; all of which proved the super-entertaining ability of the juniors. Gordon Radford, general chairman of
the week, was assisted by several capable committees.
Class officers for the second semester were: George
Chrape, Lillian Larson, Doris Franson, and Gordon
Price.

From a record number of 150 applicants, Jim
Yoder selected his staff members. Fran Madson
was associate editor.
Three assistant editors, Bill Charlesworth, Fred
Swank, and Wendell Lawrence, were appointed
to help in any section where aid was needed.
At the very start. staff members ccoperated to
the utmost with Yoder to make the '38 Gem the
best ever. Copy, pictures, and other assignments were apport:one:::l to the various editors.
Division editors were: administration, Glendon Davis; classes, Margaret Barton; activities,
Maria Raphael; athletics, Jimmy Boyd; campus
life, Homer Davies; women, Ruth Bevis; organizations, Billye Jane Austin. Verla Durant was in
charge of mounting the prints. Evelyn Williams
was head typist, and editing all the copy was
under the supervision of Phyllis Rand.

Urged on by Business Manager Carl Burt, the
business staff secured advertising, sold books,
and took care of secretarial duties connected
with the business end of the Gem publication.
Burt's staff succeeded in selling more books,
securing more advertising, and making more
people on the Idaho campus "Gem conscious"
than any previous year. Right from the first of
the year Burt kept his staff constantly at work
convincing townsmen that they should advertise
in the "38" Gem. Sam Rich worked with Burt
as assistant business manager.
The ten students responsible for seeing that
the work of the business staff was carried out
were: Bob Bonnett and Dal Jordan, advertising;
Margaret King, Jean Baer, and Doris French,
secretarial; Dick Phinney, Bill Tomilson, Don
Southworth, Leon Addy, and Joe Watts, circulation.

each one of the six issues.

Jean Dunkle

Last year Jean Dunkle so capably assisted one of
the first women chosen to edit the traditional Bucket,
that her succession to the editor's chair for 1937-38
was inevitable. Dick Darnell, ATO journalist, is the
associate editor. Ray Givens, Sigma Chi, directs all
business angles in his capacity as business manager.

also this year were technical mining articles by the staff and
members of the faculty. Activities of alumni everywhere were
recorded faithfully in the pages of The Miner.
Carbide lights flickered and smoked far into the night late in
April this year as the staff labored to make this, the sixth edition,

DRAMATICS

THE
ADMIRABLE
CRICHTON

James Barrie's philosophical comedy, "The
Admirable Crichton," rang up the curtain for
the start of another highly successful dramatic
season. This serious yet ludicrous story of a
haughty aristocratic English family and their
perfect butler, Crichton, well expounded the
author's belief in the inequality of man. The
title role of Crichton was well portrayed by
Glen Starlin. Glendon Davis gave a sterling
characterization of Lord Loam. Lady Mary
(Grace Sollers). Lady Agatha (Ruth Bennett),
and Lady Catherine (Helen Clough) gave excellent performances. Lord Brocklehurst (Walter
Betts), Tweeny (Bess Cuddy), and Fisher (Mary
Sullivan) furnished much of the comedy. O ther
members of the cast were Phyllis Rand, George
Oram, Joseph Mills, Esther Ross, Blaine Crawford, Melvin Westerdahl, Loren Bruns, Marjorie Lester, Sam Taylor, Homer Johnson, Jane
Pasley, Kent Courtney, Helen Abbott, and
Phyllis Gregson.

With costumes and settings of
mid-Victorian design, Henrik
Ibsen's famous sociological
drama, "A Doll's House," gave
Carol Jean Davis an opportunity
to display her talents as the dolllike wife of her smug husband,
Peter Dodds. Realizing the selfishness of her husband, Nora
leaves him to find her place in
the world. Melvin Westerdahl
as the villain; Margaret Marcus,
a friend of Nora; and George
Oram as the invalid doctor, Marjorie Lester and Helen Abbot
completed the cast.

THE MERCHANT OF VENICE
Shakespeare's immortal classic,
revised by Talbott Jennings and
J. H. Cushman, was given a new
vigor as presented by Idaho's
dramatic department.
Under Miss Collette's able
direction, the play exemplified
the charm of Shakespeare without the stiffness of Elizabethan
drama. An ingenious unit set
with ten variations was successfully used to show the scenes.
Excellent portrayals were
given by Phyllis Reiter, Glenn
Starlin, Hubert Miller, George
Oram, and Blaine Crawford.

Encouraged by more events on the calendar, the debate team
turnout was larger and lustier. Under the direction of Coach
A. E. Whitehead, the c!epartment furnished entertainment for the
luncheon and dinner meetings of various civic organizations in
Moscow and the neighboring towns throughout the season.
Clifford Dobler, veteran debater, was the student debate manager.
Opening activities in December was the triangle tournament
held with representatives of Whitman College and Washington
State College. The debates were held at all three schools, the
women's division at Walla Walla, and the men's division here
and at Pullman. The questions they debated were the national
Pi Kappa Delta questions on "Resolved, that the United States
should not go to war except after a popular referendum by the
majority of the people"; and "Resolved, that the National Labor
Relations Board should be empowered to enforce arbitration in
all industrial disputes." The latter was the question debated in
all the other debates throughout the remainder of the year.

DEBATORS

In January the University of Idaho was host to the annual Inland
Empire Junior College debate tournament. Approximately ten
schools were represented. Students debating for Idaho were: Jack
Roper, Sam Evans, Lois Clark, Shirley Hyde, Jeanette Robinson,
Lucille Knight, Lewis Levering, Gerald Richardson, John Johannesen, and Keith Greaves.
During January Norman Rhodes and Hubert Miller met a team
from the University of California, and in February Cliff Dobler,
Roy Stark, Leonard Errington, and Leslie McCarthy debated two
teams from the University of Montana.
In February Norman Rhodes, Hubert Miller, Leslie McCarthy,
Leonard Errington, Cliff Dobler, Roy Stark, John Young, Peggy
Foley, Annabel Wetzel. and Coach Whitehead went to McMinnville, Oregon, to enter the annual Linfield College tournament,
in which Stark went to the finals in oratory and Evans and Roper
went to the finals in the Junior College debate division. Later
Evans and Roper entered a tournament at Tacoma, Washington.

Forney Hall, represented by Anne Stoddard and Marta Berg, took
first honors in intramural debate this year, by winning from the
Willis Sweet Hall team, winners in the men's group. The Forney
Hall team had previously taken the women's division by defeating
teams from Kappa Alpha Theta, Hays Hall, Ridenbaugh Hall, and
Delta Gamma.
The men's division of the intramural meet was won by Kent
Courtney and Grover Newman from Willis Sweet Hall. Other teams
who participated in the men's division were: L.D.S., Lindley Hall,
Phi Delta Theta, Chi Alpha Pi, and Delta Chi. The tournament was
sponsored by the Idaho chapter of Delta Sigma Rho, and was in
charge of Joe Carr and Andy James.

MUSIC
DEPARTMENT
Archie N . J ones

A measure of a Bach fugue, a phrase from a Mendelssohn chorus, and a rhythmic
strain from Gershwin's rhapsody, pour from the windows of Music hall from
early in the morning until late at night, filling the campus with an ever-unfinished symphony.
The causes and inspiration of this constant practicing in Music hall are the
nine excellent professors and instructors of the music department of the University of Idaho, headed by Prof_ Archie N. Jones, who came here from Minnesota in 1935.
Besides Mr. Jones, they are: Carl Claus, expert violinist; Robert Lyons,
director of the band's martial music; Hall M. Macklin, teacher of piano and
pipe organ; and George Stump, who helps voice students along their way
to the Metropolitan. Miss Velma Gildmeister, Miss Miriam Litt!e, and Miss
Bernice Bernard, all of whom have studied abroad, polish the musical ability
of the instrumental hopefuls.
Every Sunday afternoon the department has presented a vesper program
in the auditorium, luring students from the library and theater. Frequent trio
concerts by Miss Little, cellist; Mr. Claus, violinist, and Mr. Macklin, pianist,
have ceen a popular hour of diversion to campus music lovers.
Composer Macklin's newest work, "String Quarte~ No. One in B Minor,"
was given its premier performance at an annual concert on March 6 .

YANDA LEERS
The Vandaleers, consisting of forty picked voices,
represent Idaho's musical achievement in the choric
division. It is a mixed chorus of students, chosen for
their singing ability and scholarship. Under the
direction of Professor Archie N. Jones, the twentyfour regular and sixteen associate members practice
diligently three times a week. New members are
chosen each year by several judges from within
the group.
A few of the outstanding accomplishments of the
Vandaleers this year are the presentation of the third
annual Candlelight Service of Christmas carols
broadcast over KFPY, a spring concert in Boise, a
broadcast over the N.B.C. network through KHQ,
a program given for the North Idaho Music Educators
Association, and several local concerts.
The officers of the Vandaleers are Robert Bollinger,
president; Helen Clough, secretary-treasurer; and
James Burkhard, manager.

PEP

BAND

Herald of Idaho spirit on the air, on the stage,
and on the athletic field, the University Pep
Band swung out another scintillating season.
Making their debut at the Dessert Hotel in
Spokane, Leader Glen Whitesel and his twentyfour versatile musicians carried on the Pep
Band's tradition of fame with a style that Benny
Goodman would envy.
Originated in 1920 by Lynn F. Hersey and
Gipson Stalker, Yell King, the Pep Band has
been Idaho's source of student enthusiasm at
games and rallies.
This year, with more radio engagements than
ever, and featured at parades and dances all
over the northwest, the band tells the world with
fanfare that Idaho means " G o, Vandals, Go!"

With "jamming," "hushing," and "swing," the band
set hundreds of feet tapping to such tunes as "Copenhagen," "Dark Eyes," and "Tiger Rag." Take-off men
Jim Mcfarland, Dick Greenough, and Len Kellogg
originated some intricate swing solos.
The band's initial radio performance was over KFPY,
Spokane, September 21. Among other engagements,
they broadcasted over N.B.C. from Hote l Edmund
Meany in Seattle .
They featured crack arrangements by men like Don
Brown, tenor sax man with Phil Sheridan's nationally
known orchestra, and by G riff Williams' ace trumpet
player, Monte Kelly.
Half formal concert and half swing session, the annual
Pep Band Show, March 24 and 25, finished off the
year with a flourish .

SYMPHONY
ORCHESTRA
The University of Idaho synchromatic symphony
orchestra presented its annual concert in the auditori\.:m January 16. Included on the program was a
l::rilliant "concerto" by Saint Saens. Professor H. M.
Macklin played the arrangement with the group.
The orchestra which is directed by Professor Carl
Claus, has increased its membership to fifty-five.
Karl Wilson, who has been concert master for
three years, again headed the violins. The brass
and woodwind sections are directed by the assistant
professor, Robert Lyon.
The members of the Music Faculty participate in
the concert, besides sponsoring recitals which feature
the most talented young student artists.
Miss Miriam Little is in charge of the cello and
bass rehearsals.

Archie N. Jones, d irector, organized this group two
years ago, and it rapidly became one of the most
popular extra-curricular activities on the campus.
"Archie" clamped down on the "cutters" and said,
"Be here or else ... no activity credit or credit hour."
The Singers presented Handel's "Messiah" the
Sunday preceding Christmas vacation . On April 15
they gave Dubois' "Seven Last Words," and on
May 5 and 6, "The Mikado," by Gilbert and
Sullivan. Leading parts in the light opera, "The
Mikado," were sung by Bill Hoover, Howard Corless,
Wallace Garets, Peter Dodds, and Louise Paulsen.
Hall M. Macklin was accompanist for the group.

R.O.T.C. inspection day, held the first part of
May, was the year's biggest event for the military band. Dressed in brilliant blue and gold
uniforms, the eighty members of the band, following the flashing baton of the drum major,
Ralph Hanson, paraded and beat time for the
spectacular military maneuvers.
In addition to this official performance, two
formal concerts were given, one in December
and the second one in May, featuring forty-five
selected musicians and directed by Robert B.
Lyons, band leader and instructor. Featured in
the second concert was musical history from the
eighteenth century to the present time.
The military band played at the opening student assembly, and throughout the year contributed for basketball and football games.

Fifty years of service is the enviable record of Idaho's "Grand Old
Man" of military, Brigadier General E. R. Chrisman. Entering West
Point in 1884, he graduated in 1888, and entered upon a colorful
career, during which he experienced foreign service in the Philippines,
and again in Cuba during the Spanish-American War. General Chrisman has seen Idaho's unit develop from a diminutive corps of one
hundred to its present formidable strength of one thousand. Retired
from active duty in 1932, General Chrisman still maintains an active
interest in the corps by acting as advisory counsel and teaching military
history and law.
Ably directing the unit is Lieutenant Colonel Floyd Hatfield, transferred from the Presidio of San Francisco, California, to replace Lieutenant Colonel Allen Fletcher. The long and varied service he has
rendered serves as a qualifier of his opinion that Idaho rates very favorably with any R.O.T.C. unit in the country. Colonel Hatfield, whose
name appears on the general Staff Corps eligible list, is a graduate
of the Infantry School, the Command and General Staff School, and
the Arkansas Law School.

COACH

Coach Ted Bank qreeto Wallace B eery, an ardent Vandal aupporter

Coming to the University of Idaho
just three years ago last fall, Head
Coach Ted Bank has worked hard
toward building up a new regime in
football for the Vandals. His efforts
have been highly successful, as evidenced by this year's gridiron team.
A graduate of the University of
Michigan in '23, he never lost a game
that he quarterbacked. Before attending Michigan, Bank served in the
World War and was made a first
lieutenant.
Following his graduation, he was
coach at a prep school for six years
and then went to Tulane University,
where he was assistant football and
head boxing and baseball coach.
From Tulane he came to Idaho.

MANAGERS
On the shoulders of Kenneth Anderson
and Robert Ratliff rested the responsibility of getting the football team on the
field for their games.
Although l::oth were junior managers,
Anderson was awarded the senior le tter
and Ratliff will receive it next year.
It is their duty to assist the trainer,
handle equipment, oversee the training
table, and to do the "dirty" work.

Dropping only three games out of a tough, eight-game
schedule, Idaho's football team completed their most
successful season in a decade this year.
Wins were chalked up over Oregon State College,
University of Utah, Gonzaga, and the University of
Montana, while the Vandals were held to a goose-egg
deadlock by Utah State.
The University of Washington, Washington State College, and St. Mary's won from the Vandals in remarkable close struggles.
An outstanding line led by Pavkov, Thiessen, Knap,
Musial, and Smith, plus a powerful group of backs
paced by Trzuskowski, Roise, and Belko sparked the
Vandals.

GALA
HOMECOMING
Dedicating the new Neale Stadium, Idaho inaugurated its most successful season in several
years before a huge Homecoming crowd with
a smashing 7-6 victory over the highly touted
Oregon State Beavers.
Coming into the final three minutes of the
game on the short end of a 6-0 score, the Vandals began an air barrage which demoralized
the Staters. Roise completed a pass to Smith on
the Beaver eight-yard line, and then tossed
another to Howard for the touchdown. Roise
then booted the extra point to give the Bankmen
their win.
Both teams rolled up 216 yards from scrimmage, but Idaho tallied ten first downs to eight.
Roise' s punting and passing, Thiessen, Knap,
and Winter on the line, and Chrape's and
Trzuskowski's work in the backfield were features of the game.

With the Vandals trailing 6 to 7 in the final quarter,
little Steve Belko, Idaho halfback, kicked a field goal
to give the Idaho gridm~=Jn a 9 -7 victory over Utah U.
Outweighed and handicapped by the high altitude, the
Vandalmen gave a dazzling exhibition before a capacity
crowd of nearly 20,000 people at Salt Lake City. The
chance for the deciding goal came after Belko had
tossed a long pass to Stoddard, and Roise had made
a first down on Utah's 7-yard line. Belko dropped back
and kicked a perfect placement through the posts.

Idaho had tallied early in the first period when Dellinger crashed six yards to score after Thiessen had
blocked a Utah punt in the middle of the field and the
team had made a power drive to scoring position. In
the second quarter a Utah end intercepted one of
Roise's passes and raced 39 yards to put the Redskins
in the lead by one point after the conversion.
Statistics showed both teams nearly even as to yardage, Utah making eight first downs to Idaho's seven.
Idaho gained 247 yards to 231 for Utah.

rain slowed both teams down considerably. Almostthe
the entire game was played in mid-field.

GAELS TRIUMPH
End-around plays, criss-cross plays, and fake end-around plays
baffled the Idaho team to the extent that they lost the only game
played on California soil to the St. Mary's Gaels 6-0. In the
second period St. Mary's Jack Crompton finished a 75-yard
sustained drive, scoring on the last of a series of end-around
plays.
The Vandals kept St. Marys back on her heels the other three
quarters of the game. Idaho's aerial offense was "clicking" for
long gains. Gaining a total of 115 yards from passes, Idaho
threatened constantly via the air route.
The last half of the game was played under adverse conditions for both teams. A strong west wind brought fog with it
and made passing difficult.

An inspired Washington team defeated the

a safety put the Washington team ahead in the
first few minutes of play, the Vandals marched
down the field to the opponent's 15-yard line,
from where Tony Knapp scored a touchdown.
The well-executed end-around play put the
Vandals ahead 7-2 at the end of the first quarter.
The half, however, found the Huskies on the
long end of an 8-7 score. The Vandals threatened to score several times during the second
half, but were held deep in the Husky territory.
The Idaho line held the 1936 Rose Bowl
players on even terms throughout the game,

Huskies converted into scores.

The Vandals superior forward wall and the line plunging of Dick Trzuskowski, husky fullback, gave Ted
Bank's cohorts a 6-0 victory over the Gonzaga Bulldogs.
Midway through the first period the Vandals began
a sustained drive up the field that terminated only after
Trzuskowski had plunged the final two yards for a
touchdown for the only score of the game.
Played in ankle-deep mud and in a drizzling rain,
the contest was very slow, featuring only the line bucks

of Trzuskowski and Karamatic and the punting of Roise
and Karamatic.
The Vandals held a decided advantage in statistics,
holding the Gonzagans to two first downs, both occurring in the final period when the Bulldog's strongest
scoring threat carried them to the Idaho 35-yard line.
The Silver and Gold forced the attack throughout,
and Karamatic's sensational kicking was the only thing
that kept the Vandals from scoring more.

GOLDEN GRIZZLIES LOSE SHINE
Climaxing and closing the most successful Idaho football season in many years, the Vandals upset the University of Montana 6-0. This game was the only time
the Grizzlies suffered defeat this season after registering
a string of nine consecutive victories and being ranked
as one of the nation's leading teams. Before 5,000 dads
and students, all observing the Dad's Day celebration,
the Vandals completely bottled up the powerful Mon-

tana dreadnaught on the soggy turf of Neale Stadium.
With five minutes of the game remaining, Steve Belko
re-entered the game and on the first play packed the
ball twenty yards to the Grizzly 5-yard line. Three plays
later, he squirmed over the goal line for the only score.
The entire gcme was evenly played, featuring long
and sensational punts by Milton Popovich, Montana's
backfield star, and Harold Roise, Vandal punting ace.

COACH
Forrest Twogood proved the effectiveness of the slow break on the basketball court. Through a full understanding of the game and an accurate
estimate of the abilities of the men he
had to work with, the coach drilled
his men in the art of slowing down the
fast breaking opponent to his own
speed, and then, by razzle dazzle pass
work, slip the ball in for a set-up shot.
Idaho ended the season in a tie for
third place in the conference, sharing
the place with the University of Washington. Coach Twogood has started
spring basketball practice and the
material looks good. We hope the
brilliant coach may better the fine
record he set this year.

MANAGERS
In the hands of Bob Jensen, senior manager, and Norman Heikkila, junior manager, fell the task of keeping the basketball boys supplied with equipment. The
boys were ever on hand to catch balls,
fold suits, and take care of the many
little things so essential to keeping the
coaches' minds free to think of nothing
but the offensive and defensive plays.
The Baaketbell Manegere

Playing a twenty-game schedule, the Idaho quint set an
unusual record of splitting the four-games series with
Montana, Washington State, Oregon University, Washington University, and taking all four games from Oregon
State. High scores marked every game played.
Due largely to the slow-break system used by the Vandals, almost every game was won or lost in the last fifteen
minutes of play. From comparative records kept of the conference for the season, the Vandalmen played an exceptionally clean brand of ball. Ending the season in a tie for
third place in the conference with the University of Washington, the team again puts Idaho in a position near the
top of the conference.

STATE

A desperate last half rally fell short of victory by one point in the first
game with the rival Cougars. W.S.C. piled up a 23-ll lead in the first
half. A last half rally brought the final score up to 43-42 in favor of
the Washington Staters.
Playing to a capacity crowd in Memorial Gumnasium for the second
game of the series, the Vandals, after running neck and neck with the
Cougars for thirty minutes, pulled away in the final ten minutes to
win 35-25. The half time score was 16-12 for Idaho.
After making a point a minute for the first ten minutes of play, the
Silver and Gold casabans seemed to lose their touch and trailed 17-12
in the third game with W.S.C. The final score was W.S.C. 43, Idaho 34.
In the final game of the season, the Idahoans whipped the Cougars
41-31. With a half time handicap of 17-15, Bill Kramer and Don Johnson

Idaho's Vandals, led by diminutive Steve Belko, split even in the four
games played with the University of Washington Huskies. In the first
g ame, played at Seattle, Idaho lost its third straight conference game of
the season by a score of 38 to 28. Although the Vandals put up a plucky
battle, Washington came from behind to win in the last two minutes of
play. Voelker, of the Huskies, was high point m:m with 15 counters.
Behind the steady floor work and accuracy of Belko, Smith, and Johnson,
the Vandals took the second contest of the series 36 to 33. With but two
minutes of play remaining, Kramer's foul shot and Barrett's field goal
b rought Idaho its first conference victory. Bill Kramer was high point man.
On their home court, Idaho defeated the Huskies in the third game
41 to 30. The Vandals maintained an average of a ten-point lead throughout the game. Belko, Barrett, Price, and Winter starred for the Vandals.
Ross Werner's deadly accuracy in the last game was too much for Idaho,

The Vandals took two out of the four games played with the champion Oregon
team. The first series was played on the Idaho court, resulting in two wins
for Idaho.
The first game was won 33-28, the Vandals holding a 24-16 lead at the
half. The second victory came in the closing seconds of play when Bohman
tossed in a foul shot, making the scc:>re 35-34.
At Eugene, the Webfeet outplayed the Vandals in both games. In the first
game, Coach Twogood, realizing that Oregon was on, jerked his regulars to
save them for the final game. The score was 68-41 for Oregon.
The final game lowered the boom on Idaho's championship hopes when the
tall Oregon quintet came through with a 41-24 win in a vary fast game.

The Oregon State Beavers was the cnly tEem in ll:e conference which
was ccmpletely blanked by the Vandals. The Idaho rooters saw their
team pile up a 49-23 and 29-26 dual win at home, and a 34-32, 29-22
double victory at Corvallis.
The first game at home showed fine coordination on the part of the
Vandalmen and poor defense by the Beavers. The second game, closer
and more interesting, was in the hands of the invaders until four minutes
before the gun. A flashing rally saved the Silver and Gold.
On the Corvallis floor both games were more sensational and both
teams played better ball. Razzle-dazzle pass work and long one-handed
howitzer shots won the first game for Idaho 34-32. The score of the second
game see-sawed back and forth until the final quarter when Twogood' s
boys turned on the heat to win by seven points.

MONTANA
Idaho's casaba quint broke even with the Montana
Grizzlies in the four-game series this year. Each team
won the two games played on their own floor.
In the conference opener, at Missoula, Idaho was
left on the short end of a 33 to 32 score when
Lazetich, Grizzly forward, sunk a last minute field
goal to provide Montana's margin of victory. The
Grizzlies, led by Lazetich and Mariana, defeated the
Vandals 4 7 to 38 in the second game.
A better drilled and smoother working Idaho team
swamped Montana by scores of 55-34 and 48-34 in
the second half of the series, at Moscow. In both
battles the Grizzlies' ace bucket tossers were kept
well under guard.

With only three wins and thirteen defeats, the
Vandals ended in last place in the Northern
Division of the Conference. Idaho defeated
Oregon State, Washington State, and Washington.
Idaho was weak in the hitting and fielding
deparbnents. Coach Twogood was not able
to find a satisfactory combination for the outfield. Knap, Gregory, Hallberg, and Jenkins
formed a strong pitching staff, and the infield
of Kramer, Atkins, West, and Summer was
good.

An inexperienced Idaho baseball team found going tough with the University of Washington
last year, winning only one out of the four games they played.
The Huskies combined costly Vandal errors and timely hitting to wallop the Vandals 12-3 in
the first game at Seattle. The Huskies found the Idaho hurlers to their liking in the early stage
of the game, garnering six runs in the first three innings. As a result of several errors, six more
were added in the seventh.
After pitching a superb game for eight innings in the second skirmish, Earl Gregory, Vandal
twirler, weakened in the final frame and allowed two Washington runs to cross the plate to
defeat the Silver and Gold 3-2 in a tight defensive battle. The Vandals scored two runs in the
second inning and did not relinquish the lead till the final frame.
It took eleven innings for the Huskies to nose out the rapidly improving Idahoans 7-6 in
the first game to be played at MacLean Field against the Washington team. The battle was
nip-and-tuck all the way through, with the score being tied four times and the lead changing
frequently. Going into the ninth inning, the Vandals were leading 6-5, but the most spectacular
play of baseball, stealing home, tied the game at 6-6, throwing it into extra innings. In the
eleventh inning the Huskies pushed across another run to win 7-6.
The Vandals closed the 1937 baseball season by pounding out a 10-6 victory in a game
that saw them in the lead throughout. The feature of the game was Wayne West's pair of home
runs. Three seniors played their last baseball game for Idaho in this contest.

WASHINGTON

STATE

Idaho opened the baseball series with Washington State College at Moscow April 23,
and lost their seventh straight game of the season by a score of 16 to 3. The Staters
made 16 hits off Vandal pitchers while the Idal:o men were running up a total of
12 errors. Kinneman, W.S.C. pitcher, held the Idaho men to four hits, while the Muscovites used three moundsmen, Hallberg, Hansen, and Gregory.
The next day at Pullman, the Cougars nearly duplicated the first day's results, the
final score being 13 to 3. Lefty Mel Marlowe a llowed the Vandals only seven hits.
W.S.C. opened with a ten-run barrage in the first two innings off Hansen and Hallberg. Earl Gregory pitched the remaining seven innings, allowing the Cougars only
three runs.
Washington State won the third game 9 to 3 at Pullman in a drizzling rain storm.
Hallberg and Hansen allowed the Cougars seven hits, but the Idahoans could only
connect four times off Carter and Sienko, Washington State hurlers.
Idaho finally broke through the Cougars' jinx in the series final at Moscow, winning
by a score of 4 to 3. Whitey Jenkins pitched the Vandals out of a tight scrape in the
ninth inning; then in the last half Wayne West collected his second home run to win
the game. Ed Goddard proved to l:::e the thorn in the Idaho men's side by being the

STATE

An invasion of the Beaver territory at Corvallis proved semi-successful for the
Vandals. They came home with one win, the first of the season, and one loss.
Mackey's single in the ninth with two out provided the needed punch to win
11 to 9 in a ten-inning fray. In the second game on the Beaver diamond, Otto
Houdek held the Vandal squad to seven hits to win the game 6 to 3.
Oregon State came to Moscow for a follow-up series and slapped out two
wins, the first by an 8 to 5 tally. This game was filled with bad ball handling
and much fumbling on the part of both teams. The second game in Vandal
territory ended 8 to 3 for the Beavers. A Vandal scoring drive was started by
Wayne West's homer in the ninth, but came too late to do any damage . The
Beavers played errorless ball in the ninth and ended the game with the fivepoint margin.

On May first and second, Idaho's traveling baseball squad met with defeat
at the hands of the University of Oregon at Eugene. The first game went
to the Webfeet by a 9 to 0 score, with Bill Sayles, the Oregon pitching
ace, allowing only two hits. The second game was barely won by the
Webfeet 6 to 3. Although the Vandals held their own until the seventh
inning, the Oregon men rallied in the eighth to forge ahead.
In the Moscow series, the scores were 13 to 4 and 10 to 7, Oregon
winning l:::oth games. In the game May 19, the Vandals held Oregon to
a one-run lead until the e ighth, when the Webfeet made five runs and
followed with three more in the ninth to clinch the game. Four home runs
featured the game May 20; West and Brown connecting for the Vandals,
Courtney and McLean for Oregon.

With but one week of outdoor practice to loosen arms and legs, the
Idaho ball club went to Walla Walla to play a six-game opening series
with the Whitman Missionaries. The expectations of the dopesters were
fulfilled when the Vandals dropped all of the games played.
Three of the five games played were lost through errors in spite of the
good pitching of Hallberg, Gregory, Jenkins, and Hansen. Idaho made
eleven bobbles in the first two games to lose by scores of 9 to 4, and
12 to 2 . The third and fourth games showed the Vandals playing steadier
ball and out-hitting the Missionaries, but they were unable to make
their hits good for runs. Scores for these games were 3 to l and 7 to 0 .
Rain ended the fifth game in the seventh frame with Whitman leading
1 to 0. The wet diamond ended the series.
In the first of the two-game series at Moscow, Whitman played
almost perfect ball to defeat the Vandals 21 to 2. Whitman collected
hits and Idaho collected errors to account for the wide margin of
victory. The second game was cancelled because of rain.

TRACK

COACH
The enthusiasm and aggressiveness of
Mike Ryan, head track coach, have
given new hope to track and field sports
at Idaho.
Coach Ryan, one of the "deans" of
the track world, came to Idaho three
years ago from Colby College in Maine.
He brought all his ability and experience gained as a participant and
trainer of numerous United States
Olympic teams.
Working under many handicaps,
Ryan has developed some of the finest
runners on the Pacific Coast in recent
years.

CO - CAPTAINS
Stewart Neely and Cy Adkins, two
of the finest runners ever to represent Idaho, acted as co-captains of
the 1937 track team. Neely holds
the Idaho quarter and half-mile
records. Last year he ran the half
in 1:53.2, the third fastest time in
the United States. Adkins was outstanding in the distance events.
His time of 4 :26 stands as the
present Idaho mile record.

Northern Division Conference meet held in Seattle. Washington State took an easy first place
after scoring first places in the dash and relay
events, for a total of 56 points. Washington
trailed with 38, followed by Oregon with 36,
Idaho with 17, Oregon State and Montana with
14 and 4 points respectively.
Don Johnson, called "Iron Man," gained most
of the Idaho points with his first in the javelin,
second in the shot, and fourth in the discus.
Stewart Neely ran a close second to Palmerson
of Washington State in the half mile. Both men
broke the Northern Division record. Palmerson
broke the tape in 1.51.5, Neely in 1.52.2.
Pat Probst won third in the mile, and the relay

The meet was very close, the lead changing

a win to clinch the Vandal victory.
Two University of Montana field records were

WASHINGTON STATE
Although they broke three University of Idaho records, the Vandals dropped
their annual dual track and field meet with the strong Washington State squad
by the score of 81 to 51.
Don Johnson, high point man of the meet with 13 points, was the outstanding
individual on the field, breaking two Vandal records. Johnson hurled the
javelin 211 feet 7 inches and the 16-pound shot 47 feet 11}1 inches for two
new records. Although Andrew Beeman only finished second in the broad
jump, he broke the University of Idaho re:::ord which had stood for 34 years
with a jump of 22 feet 10 inches.
The Cougars registered 9 firsts and the Vandals 6.

FROS H FOOTBALL
Having more tough luck during the ~eason than any other fresh squad AI
Paddock has coached, and although losing all three games, the 1937 yearlings
made good showings in all contests and astounded followers by their gameness
and fight. The first game was lost to Lewiston Normal School 12 to 6. Inexperience was the chief downfall of the kids. The Normal boys played a fine game
but were outgained by the fresh. The kids next lost to the Gonzaga first-year
outfit at Spokane 18 to 6. This game was very even until the last quarter, when
a series of bad breaks cost the game. The squad went to pieces for the only time
during the season. In a close, hard-fought game, they lost to the Washington
State Fresh 6 to 0, in snow and rain. The injuries throughout the season, which
numbered eleven, clearly handicapped the Vandal Babes.

FROSH BASKETBALL
Winning ten games while losing only four was the outcome of the Vandal
fresh basketball team for 1937-38. The four games were lost all to Washington
State's freshmen in evenly matched games. W.S.C. had the finest fresh team
they ever had, coming through the season undefeated. Due to the fact that
Idaho has a very strong eligibility requirement, there were eight men ineligible.
At least two of these men were fine prospects. This year's squad had more prospective timber for varsity material than many teams in the past. Standout
players for the yearlings were Ronnie Harris, star forward and high point man
of the season; Otis Hilton. 6-foot, 7-inch center; Dave Marshall, forward; Irvin
Hopkins, guard; John Woffington and Cartee Wood, two ineligible guards.

A national champion, a national runner-up, Pacific coast
team champion, a team win over San Jose State College,
and a split victory with Washington State College is a
summary of the boxing record set by the Idaho team this
year. This string of victories barely touches on the success
of the individual work of Coach Louis August.
Six years ago Louis August came to Idaho as a student.
He came with the Pacific coast championship belt, and
immediately started work to develop a boxing team. In his
second year at the University, he was successful in making
boxing a minor sport.
This year Coach Louis August was rewarded for his work
by seeing one of his men win the National Intercollegiate
Athletic Association boxing championship in the 135pound class. Four of his men were entered in the tournament.
Looking at the individual records of the men who carried
the Silver and Gold into the square ring, we again see the

results of good coaching. Julian "Bud" Benoit fought lO
fights this year, and was victorious in all of them, and also
was voted the cleanest, cleverest, and most sportsmanlike
boxer in the national intercollegiate meet. Carl Killian,
fighting at 175 pounds, lost but one fight this year. Eddie
McKinnon, of W.S.C., beat him in their one encounter.
Killian went to the nationals and won a runner-up position in his class.
Ralph Miller, senior and captain of the team, lost two
bouts during the year, but brought home the Pacific coast
championship in the 112-pound division. Ross Sundberg, at
the other end of the weight division, won all his fights until
he reached the finals at the P.C.C. meets at Sacramento.
Next year will see a wealth of good material in the form
of Ted Kara, 125; Frank Kara, 135; Dave Johnson, heavyweight, and many other boys who have proved in their
frosh year that they have the stuff it takes for champions.

The Vandal racquetmen, handicapped by a late spring and a lack of returning
lettermen, gained one victory in seven meets of the 1937 season.
From the formidable list of opponents Idaho was only able to vanquish
Gonzaga. In other major meets, the Hudson and Parrish doubles combination
proved to be the Vandals' point winner. Idaho had better fortune in the Northwest Conference tournament held at Corvallis. The racquet-swingers tied with
W.S.C. for fourth place, Oregon State, Oregon and Washington, placing one
two, and three in the order named.
Bill Hudson, Number One man on last year's squad, was the only letterman
lost by graduation. Davis, Parrish, Scott, and Randall will form the nucleus of
the 1938 team.

Idaho's varsity golf team, composed of six players, although losing all but one
of their home matches, showed real competition and promises to be a great
team next year. On May 1, the Washington State squad came to Moscow and
soundly trounced the Vandals in five matches while Idaho was winning one.
But on May 15 the Idaho men had improved and took two matches to Washington State's three. May 21, the University of Washington Huskies traveled to
Moscow to take the Vandals into camp by the same score of eight to four. The
next day, however, against the Montana greensmen, the Vandal golfers won
their only home match. It was won by a score of 9. . to 2 ... Men to win the
minor "I" awards were: George Handy, Hobart Styffe, Jack Hammerlund,
William Gigray, Joe Holzer, and Garth Peck.

Suffering their first defeat in three years, the Vandal wrestlers still enjoyed
a successful year. Three victories, one tie, and a third at the Minor Sports
Carnival shows the power of the Idaho wrestlers. In dual meets, Idaho defeated
Universities of Washington and Montana, and in two matches with Washington
State, the Vandals won one and tied the other. At the Carnival, Macy and
Huntington, student coach, won firsts for Idaho.
Noel Hallett, Harold Elg, Joe Miller, Corlys Hubbard, Dwight Macy, Dennis
Hess, Wilbur Free, Jasper Nutting, Forest Ober, Dale Sanner, and Captain·
Coach Bert Huntinqton are the lettermen of this year's squad.

The Idaho gencing team won two and lost six matches during the 1938 season.
The Vandals defeated Shawangan Prep School of British Columbia, and won
one of the three Washington State matches. Oregon State, University of Washington, and Shitman defeated Idaho in several close tournaments. The narrow
margin of victory indicates the keenness of the competition.
This year's team includes Captain Arthur Peterson, Charles Poulton, Rudolph
Goldblum, and Robert Frazier. Goldblum is the only man lost through graduation. The three returning men will be the basis of next year's team, assisted by
additional fencers, who have transferred.

The mermen of the University of Idaho had but mediocre success during the
1937 and 1938 season. Of the eight meets with San Jose, Washington State,
University of Washington, Oregon State, University of Oregon, the swimmers
came out second or third best.
Dick Slade, ace fresh swimmer from last year, showed up equally well under
varsity competition. Swimming the 220路 and 440-yard distance, Slade is the only
man on the Idaho team who consistently garnered first places in any of the
meets.
With graduation taking but one of the team, Coach Bob Tessier expects to
make a much better showing when his men take the water next year.

States, they won 22, and competing in the Ninth Corps Area matches, took
fifth in a field of 17. Idaho's marksmen have always been near the top in national
standing, and once won the national title.
Don Burnett, four-year letterman, recorded a yearly average of 385.1 out

INTRAMURAL SPORTS

Sweet hall blocked, passed, and galloped its way
through all competition to win the first intramural sport
in the 1937 and 1938 trophy race. They followed through
with a winning fall tennis team, which gave them a slight
edge on the other houses in points. L.D.S. again proved
their superiority in the paddle and celluloid ball game
and took the majority of the ping pong matches hands
down. The ever-popular volleyball events were hotly
contested, with Lindley Hall out-volleying the rest of the
field. Sweet Hall again came through for a win in the
basketball play-offs.

INTRAMURAL

ATHLETICS

Phi Delta Theta splashed its way to a win in the
swimming and diving competition, and also managed
to place enough men near the front to win the crosscountry run. Boxing and wrestling, two new events in
intramural sports, did not prove so enticing to participants, but those who did take part enjoyed it ~ore than
somewhat. Kappa Sigma won both events. Sweet Hall
proved to have the best "second bests" in basketball
and won the "B" league tournament. With softball competition well started, all indications point to a close race
between all contestants for the trophy this year.
221

For the second season in succession the Delta Tau Delta
house copped the trophy for intramural sports. Through the
scholastic year they piled up 1495 points to beat Sweet Hall
out by a close 125-point margin. Managed by Howard Ahlskog,
the Dells put a strong team in the field for every sport. In
the final track meet of the year, the Delts were able to stave
off their closest competitors to retain their small margin of
lead in points.
In the fall of 1937 a new fraternity was formed to stimulate
intramural sports. Alpha Phi Chi is a national fraternity established to govern intramural sports and to give optimum
benefit to the student body. Juniors and seniors are eligible
and must maintain a scholastic average of 4 points or better.
Freshmen and sophomores are considered pledges.

Replacing speedball this season, soccer is one
of the major W.A.A. sports. Quite pleasant in
the early part of the season, it had a sudden
demise when the wintry winds began blowing
around the abbreviated slacks and middies of
the athletes.

A single elimination tennis tournament ended
the W.A.A. fall season. Ann Little and Margaret
Marcus weathered the serves, lobs, drives, cuts,

they were again high in intramural athletics, which they
have won for the past two years. The annual Russian Ball
highlighted a successul social season for the Delts.

The University of Virginia furnished the setting for the founding
of Kappa Sigma in 1869. In 1905, Gamma Theta, the local
chapter, was founded. Kappa Sigma was the first national fraternity founded on the Idaho campus. The House Party and the
Formal in May were the two mom events of the social year.

The Kappa Alpha Theta social season was climaxed by the
Spring Formal. At De Pauw University, Greencastle, Indiana,
Kap~ Alpha Theta was first organize::!. The local chapter, Beta
Theta, was established May 15, 1920. on the Idaho campus.

The costume Mardi Gras Ball and the Forma l Dinner

Today in many lands youth faces life in a vastly different and closely circumscribed

FRIENDSHIPS
OF COLLEGE DAYS ...
. . . a personality portrait
enhances college friendships
as th e years roll by.

Two years ago the 1938 Gem was started. Since that
time everything in the power of the staff has been put
into this Vandal yearbook to make it part of the endless string of outstanding Idaho annual publications.
It is with regret that we have reached the point where
history begins, where our work ends, and where our
talents and efforts will be put on the shelves as part
of Idaho's never-ending history.
The cooperation that was received from the editorial staff this year is really worth mentioning. We owe
a lot to the many helpers who have aided in finishing
what we hope will be a worthwhile yearbook.
To Fred Swank, assistant editor, we present the
roses. Freddy helped this to be the excellent book
that it is. To Towhead we offer our sincere thanks.
To Verla Durant and the Tri Delts we give orchids
for their grand work during the year. To Margaret
Brown, Ila Ingersoll, and Evelyn Williams we hand
another bouquet.
To the various section editors, G lendon Davis, Ruth
Bevis, Billye Jane Austin, Homer Davies, Marie
Raphael, Jim Boyd, Margaret Barton, and Phyllis

Rand, we extend our sincere thanks for go::x:l work.
Alden Hull and John Rupp are also extended indi路
vidual appreciation for their cooperation.
To the builders of the book, Ralph York and the
personnel of the Syms-York Company at Boise, and
Walt Irvine and the Western Engraving Company we
extend our sincere thanks.
Charlie Dimond again took wonderful pictures. He
cooperated to the utmost with the staff, even though
we gave him only minutes notice when we wanted
pictures for the 1938 Gem. We also extend our appreciation to Hutchison's studio and Sterner's studio.
To all the other members of the staff, who comprise
the greater part of the group and who made this book
possible, we give our heartiest thanks.
So with this we close the final chapter of the 1938
Gem of the Mountains. We hope that Idaho feels that
this book is something of which she will be proud.
To the entire student body, our heartiest thanks and
deepest appreciation for the opportunity to edit this
Gem of the Mountains.
JIM YODER.

The pericx:l of uncertainty has passed as all income
budgets are met. This brings to a successful close
a year which was predicted to be the hardest of them
all. To the members of the managerial staff, whose
faithful efforts and sincere cooperation were responsible for a successful conclusion, may I express my
gratitude and hearty thanks.
In the prcx:luction of this volume of the Gem of the
Mountains, there have been five managerial staff
members whose work has been so outstanding as to
warrant the highest praise. To Dick Phinney, circulation manager, too much appreciation can not be
given for his effective work thoughout his two years
at the University. He has served as assistant circulation manager and as circulation manager. He knows
what it is to hit the ball on work that must be done.
Joe Watts, publicity manager, has diligently performed the many duties of that office.
We thank Doris French, secretary to the manager,
who has accurately executed her duties in that position, also to Leon Addy and Don Southworth, four-star
men, who gave their sincere and energetic aid as

general assistants to the manager, positions requiring
diversified ability.
Sales were directed by Sam Rich, assistant business
manager, who helped conduct a well organized sales
campaign which resulted in a complete sell-out for
this edition. He was ably assisted by members of the
staff: Jack Love, Helen Sullivan, Beth Bothwell, Bill
Tomlinson, Stan Hume, Ted Kara, Frank Kara, Elena
Sliepcevich, and Betty Rhoades.
In spite of present economic conditions, the advertising solicitors sold about three times the amount for
which the budget called. Bob Bonnett and Dale Jordan, two live wires, really went through town. To
Jean Baer, Margaret King, and Doris Eby, who worked
as stenographers and assisted in any way possible,
the manager wishes to express his sincere thanks.
Perhaps the most credit of all should go to those
many willing workers who were always ready to give
cheerfully of their time and effort, which a limitation
of space here forbids us to more than recognize on
the staff.
